El Día Internacional del Yoga se celebra con gran entusiasmo
Ciencia y espiritualidad, o yoga, son como las dos alas de un pájaro. Ambas son necesarias. El yoga nos aportará armonía, no solo a nuestra vida personal, y a nuestra sociedad, sino al mundo entero.
21 junio 2023, Amritapuri
Hoy, participantes de todas las edades, de cinco a noventa años, se han reunido para celebrar el Día Internacional del Yoga, con entusiasmo y alegría. El evento ha reunido a diversos grupos de participantes, incluyendo a personas entusiastas internacionales, que se han reunido en armonía para abrazar los beneficios del yoga.
Amma honró el evento participando en la sesión y practicando los ejercicios. Defendió un estilo de vida saludable, y puso énfasis en el impacto positivo del yoga en todos los aspectos de la salud.
Los pecados son lavados con lágrimas de arrepentimiento
Nuestra conciencia debe ser como la aguja bien equilibrada de una báscula.
Hijos, errar es humano. Nadie está libre de cometer un error. Tanto da que hagamos lo que no debemos o que hagamos lo que debemos, en ambos casos nos equivocamos. Por desconocimiento se cometen errores. También bajo la presión de las circunstancias. En cualquier caso, el primer paso para corregir errores es ser consciente de ellos. Una vez que seamos conscientes de nuestro error, debemos arrepentirnos. El arrepentimiento es una forma de reparación. No hay pecado que no pueda ser lavado con las lágrimas del arrepentimiento. Dicho esto, una vez que sabemos lo que es justo no deberíamos repetir nuestros errores. Debemos arrepentirnos sinceramente. Algunos pretenden mostrar arrepentimiento solo en presencia de otros.
Para superar debilidades, lo primero es reconocerlas
El ego y el falso orgullo son la cobertura de los errores propios, que atribuimos a otros.
Hijos, cometer errores es natural. Puede haber defectos en nuestra conducta y acciones. Podemos tener defectos de carácter. Pero la mayoría de la gente justifica sus acciones cuando comete errores, tropieza o falla. Intentan cualquier cosa para cubrir sus fallos. Incluso argumentan que el error no es suyo, sino de otro. Culpando a otro nunca superaremos nuestros fallos. Por ejemplo, las experiencias amargas en la infancia pueden dejar cicatrices permanentes en la mente, incluso deformar el carácter. Culpar a nuestros padres o a otros no va a resolver nuestros problemas. Nuestras debilidades pueden incluso hacerse más pronunciadas y afectar adversamente a nuestras relaciones con los demás.
Libérate del ego y encuentra en tu interior tu verdadera fuerza
Hijos, mucha gente dice “no puedo reír de todo corazón. No puedo abrir el corazón cuando hablo, no importa con quién hable. Siempre estoy triste.” Cuando miramos a nuestro alrededor, vemos que todos los seres en la naturaleza, excepto el hombre, viven felizmente. Árboles y plantas se mecen dichosamente en la brisa, los pájaros pían sin preocuparse por el mundo, los ríos gorgotean al fluir. Hay dicha a nuestro alrededor. ¿Por qué solo el hombre se siente abatido estando rodeado de tanto gozo?
La naturaleza no carga con el peso del ego. Carece del sentido del “Yo”. Solo los humanos tienen ego. Mientras continuemos aferrándonos a él seremos infelices, si lo abandonamos podremos disfrutar de vidas tranquilas, gozosas. Mientras retengamos el egoísta sentido del “Yo” no encontraremos la verdadera fuerza en nuestro interior. Si las cortinas están cerradas no podremos ver el cielo en el exterior. Pero si las abrimos, el cielo será visible. Del mismo modo, solo contemplaremos nuestro verdadero ser si nos desprendemos del ego.

C20: Summit on Technology, Security & Transparency focuses on a more equitable and inclusive digital world
Instead of technology raising alarming concerns about the future of humankind, it can be used to gather and share the talents of all people. This can bring transformational changes to India as a nation, and Civil 20 is a channel to bring these unique success stories to the entire world.
The Civil 20 (C20) Summit on Technology and Security for One World took place at Amrita Vishwa Vidyapeetham, Coimbatore. Several dignitaries from India and abroad attended the inaugural ceremony of the two-day event hosted at the university by the official Working Group on Technology, Security & Transparency.
“Humanity is facing extraordinary challenges today, including on subtler levels, which we may be unable to perceive or understand. The huge leap in science and technology, along with misuse of the internet and increasing drug abuse among students, are contributing to the predicament we now face. The negative aspects of technology are raising alarming concerns about the future of humankind. Now we see a new generation growing up devoid of a conscience and moral values. As a result, violence, in various names and forms, is rising,” said Amma in her video address as Chair of C20.
“All new discoveries usually come with a negative side. The once evident problems have now shifted from the gross to the subtle and, consequently, become stronger. Technology has increased conveniences and made life comfortable, but its abuse and dangers have also increased. Extensive research on the negative impact of any new invention or discovery is essential before it is deployed to the population at large, as these can also mean unique, new hazards.
“We need to find solutions to their potential negative repercussions and threats that could manifest. While we are in a hurry to connect to science, technology and the internet, we have become disconnected from many things—our true self, our atma, our environment, nature, love, and life. And this disconnected us from spiritual values, which can heal all the disconnections in our life.”
Hon’ble Governor of Tamil Nadu, Shri RN Ravi, addressed the delegates: “India is hosting the Presidency of G20. This is a unique opportunity for the country to offer policy recommendations rooted in its larger divine mandate. Millennia ago, our sages discovered the divine truth of oneness of all creation and that there was no difference between the creator and the created. There cannot be a more powerful way of resolving the world’s differences than accepting diversity as variations of the same. universal truth. We need to take this quintessential India experience of oneness of all humanity to the entire world.
“An evolutionary transformation is happening in India today, with the world looking at us with hope. This has been possible by moving from the Government-centric approach of the last seven decades to a people-centric approach now. Our successes have been made possible by the use of technology through initiatives like the Jan Dhan Yojana, Digital India, the JAM trinity and the UPI.
“Such technology has impacted millions of lives in India by helping deliver services online. It also helped us navigate the pandemic better than many other countries, with 800 million people getting food at their doorsteps. Today, our progress is immense. Every government scheme now involves the people in a mass campaign, leading to impressive outcomes.”
He also expressed: “No country can make progress without harnessing the power of women. We had a huge gender imbalance in India for many centuries. Due to efforts of the last several years, the trends show that we may have finally overcome the challenge, and India may for the first time be having more women than men. In Tamil Nadu itself, the latest revision of electoral rolls show that the state today has 15,000 more women electorate than men.
“This transformation has been made possible with the use of technology and involving the civil society in policy-making as equal partners. Technology has a huge contribution in triggering innovation. In 2014, India had less than 500 startups. Today, we have more than one lakh. Harnessing the talent of people through technology is bringing transformational changes to the country. We now have a powerful opportunity through C20 to take these unique success stories of India to the international community to make the world a better place.”
As Troika Member C20, Swami Amritaswarupananda Puri said in his address: “Science and technology are extremely beneficial but can also be fatally dangerous, depending on how they are utilised. They can pose a threat to humanity when handled by people lacking in understanding, compassion, and discernment. What role tradition played in the past in human evolution has now been taken over by technology.
“The question is: ‘Do we have a clear direction about the future, or are we clueless?’ Communicating with others today doesn’t involve the human element as there is no need for face-to-face interactions. Even emotions have been turned into symbols through emojis. Technology does not always present positive influences, as it provides more distraction than focus.”
Swamiji explained: “Generative AI can be a powerful tool of misinformation and be risky to humanity. Spirituality and the Internet are two distinct niches for human pursuit of knowledge and wisdom. Today’s social media and content platforms are gamechangers, even for new spiritual aspirants who seek a connection to the perceived values in early stages of their journey.

En lugar de que la tecnología genere preocupaciones alarmantes sobre el futuro de la humanidad, se puede utilizar para agrupar y compartir los talentos de todas las personas.

AYUDH Mauritius brings food to mothers and children in need
For the youth volunteers it was an opportunity to practise what Amma means when she speaks about ‘compassion in action’.
The AYUDH chapter with Amma Centre Mauritius led a team to a slum area to conduct a soup kitchen for the people living there. AYUDH is the Mata Amritanandamayi Math’s global youth initiative.
